IMPACT AND LEGACY
The FISU World University Games offer a platform for positive development and create a legacy at a local, regional and national
level. Universities, students, and businesses will be involved not just as athletes and spectators, but as sources of knowledge, talents,
catalysts, employers, employees or interfaces. The 2025 FISU World University Games will therefore be both a sporting and a
networking event, a presentation platform, a collaborative initiative, a talent pool, a stage for cultural and social interaction – in other
words, it will interface theory and practice.

The hosting concept of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games builds on the local context of the region, leaving a
positive legacy for the region, the cities, its citizens and beyond. Long-term benefits will be achieved in the following areas and
issues:

            Social cohesion and participation                                           Marketing the region as a knowledge hub

            International exchange                                                         Quality of life as a competitive factor

            Science and education as trend setters                                                  Promoting an active lifestyle

            Lock into research, technology and science
                                                                                               Sports legacy of university sports
            for a sustainable future

Sports Programme
The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games will take place over a period of 12 days, starting with the opening ceremony on
Wednesday 16 July and ending with the closing ceremony on Sunday 27 July. The main emphasis of the 12-day event will be on the
two event weekends as they appeal most to spectators and thus have the greatest potential for showcasing the FISU World
University Games. The concept of multi-sports venues and the regional clusters of existing sports venues offer several tangible
advantages. Firstly, it fosters international interaction and interdisciplinary contacts among the athletes and secondly gives fans and
spectators an opportunity to enjoy several different sports and competitions within a single day without much need for travel.

OPENING AND CLOSING CEREMONIES
OPENING CEREMONY
The opening ceremony will be held in Düsseldorf at the
Merkur Spiel-Arena. Thanks to its fit-out as well as the broad
and excellent experience there in hosting major events of all
kinds, the multipurpose arena offers ideal conditions for
realizing this special item on the FISU World University
Games agenda. The multipurpose arena can seat up to
54,600 spectators, who can follow events from two tiers of
seats. The roof of the arena requires only 30 minutes to close
– it then lets no light in – meaning that the open stadium can
be transformed into a closed hall very easily, creating a
unique ambiance during cultural events.

ATHLETES’ ACCOMMODATION CONCEPT
With a view to the criteria of sustainability and economic
feasibility, no athletes’ village is planned for the Rhine-
Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games; instead,
athletes and officials alike will be accommodated in
hotels. The conditions for this are excellent in the Rhine-
Ruhr region. As described in detail in chapter 09
Accommodation, there are more than sufficient hotels
available. Particularly in light of the lower capacity
utilization of the existing hotel infrastructure during the
summer months (namely less than 50 % on average), the
regular capacities at hand easily suffice to provide
lodging for the delegations and all the other constituent
groups, too.

In order to keep travel times for the athletes and officials
to a minimum and to optimize logistics, the
accommodation concept hinges on spreading everyone
across three accommodation clusters. To the extent that
the delegations so request, the athletes will be
accommodated in the particular cluster in which their
competition and training venues are located.

HOTEL ROOM INVENTORY
The accommodation concept draws on a wide array of hotels
in different price segments and thus reflects the
heterogeneity of the stakeholder groups. The total capacity
of the hotels and alternative forms of lodging far exceeds
requirements – meaning that all constituent groups will

The Rhine-Ruhr region already has a large range of
accommodation options that more than meet the
requirements for hosting the FISU World University Games in
terms of capacities and standards. Sufficient capacities to
provide accommodation for all participants are guaranteed –
not just in light of the impressive overall capacity of around
50,000 beds in the Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen and
Mülheim an der Ruhr venues themselves, but in particular
during the Games period. As business hubs, the five local
authorities tend on average to only record capacity utilization
of less than 46 % during the summer months of July and
August and thus in the event of their regular operations there
would still be in excess of 26,000 free beds. This high level of
customarily unused capacity is more than the requirements
and therefore provides an ideal basis for optimally hosting the
FISU World University Games in summer 2025.

CULTURAL PROGRAMME
In the public mind in Germany the FISU World University Games
are primarily considered as a top sports event. However, it is
foreseen that the accompanying cultural programme and other
accompanying university events will also play a prominent role in
public perception of the Games.

The vision for the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games is
to create a platform for students which, while emphasizing top
performance sports, also functions to bring together students from
all over the world and encourage interaction between them. The
cultural programme plays a special role in this regard. Intercultural
exchange, active participation, being part of the event – these will
all be elements that define the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World
University Games alongside the stronger inclusion of science,
research and business.

The cultural programme will focus clearly on the FISU World
University Games’ protagonists: The students. Young and modern
cultural elements with local roots will fire the students’ imagination,
embody the joie de vivre of the Rhine-Ruhr region, and encourage
everyone to become actively involved. As in many other areas, the
plan here is to include the universities in developing the
programme.

Educational Programme
The academic programme constitutes one of the core elements of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games. The event will
act as a platform for all manner of interaction between universities, students, and partners from the worlds of politics and business.
The educational programme built around the FISU World Conference, which will be prepared and organized together with FISU.
Furthermore, in close collaboration with academic organizations in North Rhine-Westphalia, such as the Ministry for Culture and
Science, the State Rectors Standing Conference as well as the universities, scholarly conventions and conferences on future themes
that are of great relevance will be organized and realized in the framework of the event. Examples of possible thematic areas would
be events on mobility, on digitization or inclusion of the physically challenged.

DUAL CAREERS
Since 1999, the adh has been supporting dual careers by consistently
working to reconcile university studies and top performance sports.
Preparing and hosting the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University
Games will offer an excellent opportunity to discuss the topic of dual
careers for top athletes, who are students in a publicly high-profile
manner – and also actively advance the academic debate on the topic.

ADDITIONAL EDUCATION MEASURES
While preparing and hosting the 2025 FISU World University Games
there will be special education offerings for specific target groups such
as our volunteers, leading athletes taking part, media representatives
and medical personnel who cannot or do not participate in the FISU
World Conference. Possible topics to be covered by the offerings:
Anti-doping, good governance, dual careers, sports journalism or
seminars in sports medicine or sports science, to name but a few
possible examples.

LEGAL STRUCTURE
The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for the Rhine-Ruhr
2025 FISU World University Games will be established as a
non-profit limited liability company under German law
(gGmbH) and is therefore an independent legal entity in its
own right. With the adh as the only shareholder in the
company, the legal structure of a gGmbH best fits the
requirements as regards the necessary organizational
structure of the LOC and enables it to respond flexible to
changes and the possible need for future adjustments of
the structure.

The LOC will be headed by a managing director, the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO will be responsible for
coordinating and guiding the Executive Management
Team, which will also include experts in Financing,
Marketing, Sports and Technology. The CEO will head all
operating activities and will report regularly to the adh
Shareholder Committee on the project’s current status. The
following committees and bodies will support the LOC in
planning the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University
Games in specific fields such as financing, legal issues,
political and business networking, and sustainability, and
guarantee professional interaction between the
stakeholders involved in the Games.
